Today I'm getting my last three papers: Physics, Bio and D&T, and I had done quite badly in terms of comparing with others in my class, although my Bio marks was too unexpected (I thought I would have failed it, but it turned out to be 22/30).
Okays, so we have our Physics lesson after PE lesson, and our class were quite 'insane' today. We greeted Ms. Oh in Chinese, so we go:"oh 老师早安.", and she was like introducing her Chinese name:何惠娟, and I was like laughing quietly remembering zuyao calling her name as 伟强. Then, I received my Physics paper, which I got 18/30. Not so bad as compared to my CA1, but it is still not considered a good grade to squeeze myself into triple or even double science class. Anyway, Ms Oh also showed us all our sciences marks, and I got A1 for science (actually only got 75.8, nothing to be proud of). Together with my CA, I got A2.
After recess, we have English. Mdm Abey discussed with us the compre questions. Later, she asked me YeeTeng and Jonthn (all scholars from our class) to see her. She seemed to be very disappointed and angry with our results, which I felt very strange. She was like saying that we did very badly and our results are terrible, and we did not improve, really need to bark up, we need to read more English storybooks, too busy with CCA thing, more privileges than others (Singaporeans), we are scholar and therefore should be getting very good results, some Singaporeans are better than us, we must be good in all subjects and not just Maths and Science, some of our results are lower than the average score, she need to write a report and we may be sent back to Malaysia, the school had sent people back before as late as sec3 or 4, Singaporeans score badly but they will still be in Xinmin and in Singapore whereas if we did not score well our scholarship will be cancelled and we will be sent back home to Malaysia, and etc! What she expect sia? Scholar are not genius for all areas, but maybe only on certain areas! Genius usually were not good in all areas. Just take Albert Einstein as an example. He is good in Maths and Physics but not in the languages like Latin. In fact, For these two millenium, probably only Jesus and Leonardo Da Vinci can be considered as genius of all fields!
Anyways, Ms Wong hates our style of greeting her in Chinese, and she said she has no Chinese name (Huh?) Then we received our Bio paper. Last period was D&T (replacing ATS), and I got 38/50 for this paper. Actually I considered myself quite bad because I expected myself at least 85%.
Life is not for exam. Study is not for exam. An A1 for our learning attitude is much more important than our results. This was adapted by my Chinese teacher, Ms Tee. But don't know why many students are seeking exam as his/her main goal of life, and their teachers and parents are expected and extended the pressure to push them to the summit of the exam. Not everyone can reach the summit of the Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in this planet. BUt we can always try our best. Don't push ownself to the summit if you can't and just because you're kiasu poeple. We may not climbed to the summit of moutain, but we can also try swimming over the Pacific Ocean, and many more things in this whole wide world that we can do. Always remember: 勉强是没有幸福的！Try your very best, but never do things that you really can't do!
